Letters Patent No. 71,827, dated December 3, 1867.

IMPROVEMENT IN PLOUGH-WHEEL.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that we,^J. B. WEBSTER and ROBERT BAXTER, of the city of Stockton, county of San Joaquin, and State of California., have invented a new and improved Plough-Wheel; and we `do hereby declare that the following is a full and'exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings. :tud to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of our inventionconsists in boxing up the sides a, Figurel, of the common cast-iron ploughwheel, so as to present a. smooth surface for the sides, and even with the edges of the wheel, thereby preventing i l the wheel from clogging up, on account of its filling with mud and weeds caught up by its edges, as is the ca-se where the common skeleton wheel is used.

. To enable others skilled in the nrt to construct and use our invention, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

We construct the wheel, :ts usual, of cast iron, in any of the known forms, :is-b, g. 1, and within the rim of the wheel, on each sicle thereof, facing with the edge of the rim, we insert a thin piece of board, nail plate, or east iron, of circular shape, prepnrexlfor the purpose, a, tig. 1, fitting closely within the rim, as in fig.,1. These boards or plates a, iig. 1, are secured in place by means of screws c, fig. I, passing into them through the rim of the wheel. i

What we claim as our invention, and desire Letters Patent for, is-

The board or plates a, iig. 1, in combination with the wheel, as and for the purpose hcrcinbcforc described.
